VERONICA’S DOUBLE

Veronica’s Double by Andrea Madrid Mora and Grzegorz Ziółkowski

The miniature speaks about the necessity of facing something undesirable. About the importance of your actions when you are in a trap. About the humiliation of a woman until the end of her hope – death. About the dialogue between one life at different stages. In the end, Veronica will not be Veronica any more: she reaches the possibility of getting rid of her false, imposed personality. No more fights, no more misleading hopes… In the end, everything becomes clear and lucid.

The miniature’s middle part, an etude Veronica’s Room, was created during ATIS 2012 TRAP and ATIS 2013 FLOW & ETUDES. The piece was elaborated into a miniature during ATIS 2015 NICHE in Brzezinka’s Matecznik. It was developed further in the Theatre Laboratory Space in Wrocław with support from Marta Pautrzak (Poland) (lights) and shared there with an audience on 23 and 24 February 2016. Later it was rehearsed and performed in Performing Arts LabEspai Blanc (Barcelona) on 18 June 2016.
